Temple

Learned some things In the temple today. These are my own interpretations.
1. Angels will act as sentinels to keep out or allow people to enter a kingdom.
2. Entrance to a kingdom is dependent on having certain ordinances done, especially for men with their requirement to receive priesthood, and obedience to eternal laws. In other words, obedience to one law may qualify for one kingdom upgrade but won't be enough for exaltation. The method for determining the kingdom you obtain may be more rational or systematic then I had presumed.


As I waited to proceed to the veil I thought to myself, Prescilla will be able to watch her father go rough the endowment. In the celestial room Prescilla said she watched me and saw her father proceeding rough the veil.

Ultrasound

We had the ultrasound for baby #3 this morning.  We will be adding a baby boy to the mix Aug. 23.  All measurements were good.  The ultrasound tech was very talkative and explained everything as she went.  She didn't have an appointment right after us so she spent extra time trying to get some good pictures.  The profile looks just like Alex and Amelia's.  I showed the kids the picture of the profile, foot, and arm/hand.  Alex said the profile looked like an skeleton.  I told them they were pictures of the baby in my tummy.  Alex placed his hand on my stomach and said, "Mom, you are going to get a fat stomach!".  They both said they wanted a boy baby.  Alex said we should name him Alex Clark Evans just like him.  Amelia didn't say a whole lot which is unusual for her.

Workers

A couple days ago, Amelia helped me replant between the fence and sidewalk and move some perennials around.  In her deep voice she kept telling me, "We are workers today, Mom!".  She was a really good little helper.  She would sweep the dirt off the sidewalk, help dig holes and scoop dirt, and make footprints in the dirt.  She sure is a lot of fun to have around.
